Uncle Sam Wants You-more than ever. Since the tragic events of 9/11, all branches of the U.S. Military have seen a rise in enlistments. This is due to several factors: 1) A renewed sense of patriotism, and 2) a cooling off the economy and subsequent recession. Suddenly, job opportunities for recent high school and college grads are drying up quickly. That's why a career in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, or even the Coast Guard, may be an excellent option. Author Bill Harris, working closely with recruiters from branch of the military, will detail the intricacies of getting the most out of a military career and discuss which branch of the military might be best for you. He'll explore age limits, guaranteed training, bonuses and benefits, and even the rigors of basic training. He'll also cover the many perks offered by a career in the military, and how best to obtain them.

Second Lives: Becoming A Consultant

St. Martin's: Griffin

Second Lives is a series written for people who are considering starting a second career in their thirties, forties, or fifties--whether out of necessity (as a result of downsizing) or because they are entering the workforce for the first time (after their children have left home) or simply because they want to find more interesting, satisfying work and want to work for themselves instead of for a company. Unlike other career advice books, the Second Livesseries is written for people who already know what their interests are, people who have already developed certain skills and a base knowledge in their first career. Each book shows how you can take what you already know and turn it into a successful second career.
 Each book is practical and very realistic. Starting with a description of the job and how you get into the field, it provides a questionnaire to determine whether you will really be happy working on your own and whether a particular field is right for you. Second Lives shows you how to take a personal inventory of your assets and liabilities, experience, finances, and personality, and shows how to find your niche in your new field. It outlines the concrete steps you need to get started and raises the basic questions any self-employed person needs to answer: Will I need a lawyer? An accountant? Should I incorporate? What about health insurance? Second Lives describes a typical day in this new life and shows how you should evaluate your new business.
 Becoming a Freelance Writer looks into the possibilities for writers or would-be writers who would like to be self-employed. Forget the Great American Novel; this book will show that self-employed writers can find work that is both rewarding and well paid. At a time when most of us will not remain in the same job for forty years, these books offer a handy guide for starting a second, more satisfying career in midlife.
